Dear John,

The Knesset is currently considering a bill that is unprecedented, cruel, and overtly discriminatory. It would create a death penalty for Palestinians who kill Israelis, but not for Israelis who kill Palestinians. It circumvents basic rights like due process and equal protection. And it’s one of the starkest examples of the racist mindset that animates the current Israeli government.

Join me on Thursday, February 19th, at 1 PM EST, for a webinar about this bill and what the fight against it can teach us about how to keep standing up for our values.

The webinar will feature Benzi Sykora, the Policy Director at the Israeli think tank Zulat; Shira Ben Sasson-Furstenberg, the Israel Director of the New Israel Fund; and Rabbi Jill Jacobs, the CEO of T'ruah: The Rabbinic Call for Human Rights. 

I'm honored to be moderating this conversation with these brilliant, principled community leaders.

Register for this webinar. It’ll be an important conversation.

Thank you,

Hadar Susskind
President and CEO

P.S. Coalitions make us stronger. That’s why NJN is organizing this webinar with a group of organizations that understand how important this issue is.
